could consider also systemic steroids as it includes the select cases that are given IV, otherwise support

AMBOSS bolds the phrase “Plus oral or IV glucocorticoids” for severe, and lists “oral corticosteroids” for mild to moderate, I think “Systemic steroids” is more accurate than “oral steroids” bc this card doesn’t specify its classification (mild, moderate, severe) just its onset (acute)
Or are we saying “Oral” bc of the phrase “initial management” implies in an acute setting you’d try oral before sticking them with an IV?
